When I was a youngster in the segregated South, it was common to hear something along the lines of, "those niggers are just violent and lazy, we ought to send them all back to Africa" from the sort of people who, well, regularly frolicked in the woods at night while wearing bedsheets and burning crosses. The more genteel amongst them would state, "Negros are not happy here in the United States, so we should help them emigrate back to Africa where they can be amongst their own kind, it's only the Christian thing to do." Yeppers, how Christian... no racism here, nosiree, nevermind the frolicking in the woods in bedsheets thing!

The most compassionate thing we can do for Muslims who have already immigrated here is to help repatriate them back to Muslim countries, where they can live in a culture which shares their values, a place where they can once again be at home, surrounded by people who cherish their deeply held ideals.

No racism here, nosiree, just good Christian compassion for those heathen niggersMuslims! Can anybody doubt why EBM now refers to the Republican Party as "the Party of the Confederacy"?

Seems like some people want a country comprised of "us" and no "them".

I really believe that this the message that Barack is trying to send to the left that somebody has to start compromising and forget the end game approach to government. If Ghandi was alive today and covered in the same manner as Barack how foolish would he look? If all of us on the left desire the right to continue to look smaller then we should all be reaching out our hands out to them and proudly showing our bloody fingers that are the result of trying to compromise. Look, we can always strengthen the laws on the books which have been watered down by trying bipartisanship but we cannot continue to fight. Afghanistan, Iraq show very well that fighting produces nothing but loss of lives and treasure.

The problem, Lahru, is that compromising in evil results in evil. To obtain civil rights for African-Americans we could not compromise with those who wished to continue the evils of racism and bigotry. We had to say, unambiguously, "No, that is wrong," and back it up with the guns of the 101st Airborne. There are many things that reasonable men can disagree on and find compromises about, but, to invoke Godwin: do you believe that the appropriate response of the Jewish community to Hitler's "Final Solution" should have been an attempt to find a compromise? What would that compromise have looked like -- only *half* the Jews exterminated, rather than *all* the Jews? And how moral would such a compromise be?

Gee, I bet we could get some Amerindians on board to send all the Euro-trash Christians back to their "own kind and culture", too! Oh...what's that? Don't bring up logic and apply the same technique to "them"?

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
